Benefits of technology

This patent provides a structure for connecting a wheel house panel with the rear floor of a vehicle that improves durability and input point strength without the need for a specific reinforcing member. The structure includes a shock absorber mounting bracket that is supported in a zigzag shape with three members, reducing manufacturing costs and weight and simplifying assembly. The structure also improves the vehicle's NVH, reducing noise and vibration.

Problems solved by technology

That is, reinforcement of the shock absorber mounting bracket 3 that is a load input part is insufficient and the inveterate problem with durability is caused due to the phase difference between the rear floor cross member 4, connecting member 5, wheel house cover 6 and the shock absorber mounting bracket 3, and thus the input point strength of the connecting portion between the wheel house panel 2 and the rear floor 1 decreases.
Further, when the thickness of the connecting member is increased or a specific reinforcing member is combined to solve this problem, the manufacturing cost and the weight of the body are increased.
